Solid test for Keely. Welteji is in 3:55.0 shape, and Nakaayi just ran 1:57.7 with her usual on the line tactics. She should win but possibly will face some challenges throughout.

I wonder if Moraa was strategically excluded from this race. She's the most legit threat to Hodgkinson other than Mu who doesn't race. This is the big finale to the meet so they might have wanted it to be a challenge but not too much of one for KH.

Bit of a shame that Kerr isn't lining up in the 1500. A shot at a DL win on home soil is quite rare

Great field - just funny that that has got to be the whitest men's 1500 in recent memory

CHERUIYOT, Timothy- black African
COSCORAN, Andrew- white Irish
GARCÍA, Mario- Hispanic
GILES, Elliot- mixed black English
GOURLEY, Neil- white English
HABZ, Azeddine- French North African HOARE, Oliver- white Australian
HOCKER, Cole- white American
MCSWEYN, Stewart- white Australian
MECHAAL, Adel- Spanish Moroccan
MILLS, George- white English
NORDÅS, Narve Gilje- white Norwegian NUGUSE, Yared- American Ethiopian
STONIER, Matthew- white English
TANNER, Samuel- white NZ

We see what we want to see, don’t we? That’s about as diverse in both ethnicity and country representation as it gets.

Wow. so dumb and revolting. Our identities are senseless. wow. So woke. So left wing nut.

I guess the discussion of male or female is boring and senseless too.

The discussion of flags and nation states is exciting though? Woke agendas...climate, ban the 2nd, hate speech (censorship), reparations, BLM, Ukraine, drugs/vaxxes, all exciting? Definitely not senseless?

Should be Yared's race to lose. Cheruiyot is still good but his time has passed. Nuguse has the best SB in the field and has shown the best kick as well. Would really like to see him dip under 3:29 here, he needs to be closer to Jakob in a time trial (and at least better than Katir) if he wants to have a shot at Worlds.

Why do their races matter?

Nuguse has a big shot.

I always like the intelligence of Katir when planning his DL races.

So everyone but Garcia gets two labels, and the one he got makes no sense?

Your handle says "South London," but calling Garcia Romo "Hispanic" instead of "white Spaniard" says "Kansas Farm Boy."
